I dont really think it matters if its an LS1 or not..this applies to any new camaro. Just something to keep in mind.
You had 40,000 something miles on yours? I just recently changed my front rotors and brakes and it made a world of difference. I wasn't overly hard on my brakes either but obviously it was time for a change.

yea..they've always been slightly warped since i bought the car with 16k miles on it. I brought it back to the dealership and they "couldnt find anything wrong with the brakes" and ever since than it has just gotten progressively worse and worse..oh well..i'm just gonna have to go ahead and replace them! Thanks for the heads up.

26700 on mine and I am as happy as the day I bought it. Autocross, dragrace, and the commute all in one. She does get retired for the winter tho... no way to make it up the hills around here with that car in the snow.

To date, my Pinion seal leaked a tad, then dried up (went from Syn to SemiSyn)

and at 3k, they rebuilt the tranny due to a miscut 3rd gear from the factory.

The clutch doesnt feel new anymore (not like it is going tho), and the rotors need to be turned but other than that, I have had no problems with the car. Great performance and relaible too... couldnt ask for more. If I wasnt happy, Gm would have gotten the car back in august when the lease was up. I wasnt so sure I was going to keep her until I shopped around and looked at the alternatives.

I thought I read once that GM said the LS1 had a projected life of around 300,000 miles? Not sure, might be on the good stuff

I have 63K on mine. I changed the clutch at 55K and just had the pinion seal leak fixed. This is the best car I've ever owned. My husband has an 03 Ram 1500 that's been in the shop more than my car.
